2 Corinthians 11:4

Take Heed My Friend ~

Take heed my friend,
lest you loose your way
be careful no one from Jesus
causes you to ever stray.

For there are lots of roads,
out there you could take
but, there is only one
decision you should make.

Take heed my friend,
lest you slip and fall
for there are many gospels
that have missed the call.

For you will need to turn,
from every form of sin
if the faithful race . . .
you really want to win.

Take heed my friend,
don’t follow every whim
for there is only one Way
that will lead you to Him!

~~~~~~~~

2 Peter 2:1

 But there were false prophets
also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring
in damnable heresies, even denying
the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.

Acts 4:12

Neither is there salvation
in any other: for there is
none other name under
heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.

I Hear You Jesus ~

I hear You Jesus,
Your voice I recognize
I’m aware of the wolves
wearing a sheep’s disguise.

I hear You Jesus,
I listen for Your inflection
I know the tone they use
lacks truth and direction.

I hear You Jesus,
I’m aware of Your teachings
I know the false promises
the others are preaching.

I hear You Jesus,
I am able to distinguish
the strange voices who want
my faith in You, to extinguish.

I hear You Jesus,
it’s only You who I’ll follow
for the voice of the others . . .
are deceptive and hollow!

~~~~~~~~~

John 10:4-5

“And when he putteth forth
his own sheep, he goeth
before them, and the sheep
follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger will they not follow,
but will flee from him: for they know
not the voice of strangers.”

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep’s
clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves.

Spiritual Indifference ~

Spiritual shortsightedness,
is at a high
for satan has deceived
many an eye.

Eyes that once saw,
the Truth and the Way
now care more about
what others might say.

Spiritual deafness,
is out of control
for satan has mislead
many a soul.

Ears that once heard,
doctrine firm and sound
now follow any convenient
gospel that comes around.

Spiritual indifference,
brings about apathy
and with it there’ll be . . .
many a casualty!

~~~~~~~~

2 Timothy 4:3-4

For the time will come when
they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.

Clouds Without Water ~

Clouds without water,
by the wind carried about . . .
causing in their listeners
a spiritual drought.

Doomed and depraved,
are these so called teachers
for they’re the church’s . . .
counterfeit preachers.

Gallivanting stars,
evangelist wanna be’s
coasting along . . .
on the waves of our tv’s.

Serving not God’s will,
but their own egos
follow false doctrine
wherever she blows.

Clouds without water,
leaving soul’s thirsty
for they wander into . . .
gospel’s dark and murky!

~~~~~~

Jude 1.12-13

These are spots in your feasts
of charity, when they feast
with you, feeding themselves
without fear: clouds they are
without water, carried about
of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without fruit,
twice dead, plucked up
by the roots;

Raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is
reserved the blackness
of darkness for ever.

2 Peter 2:1-22

False Teachers ~

False teachers,
today can be heard
feeding heresies
to their sleepy herd.

Denying to the masses,
the need for repentance
making all feel safe
with their acceptance.

False teachers,
bringing destruction
misleading the sheep
with their deception.

Rejecting the Lord’s call,
to go and sin no more
allowing tolerance
to enter the True Door.

False teachers,
preaching every Sunday
no longer advocating . . .
just how narrow is the Way!

~~~~~~~

2 Peter 2:1-2

But there were false prophets
also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall
bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction.

And many shall follow their
pernicious ways; by reason
of whom the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of.

1 John 4:1

The Gospel Truth ~

May the Gospel Truth,
remain in you . . .
may you always stay
to what is true.

May no one take,
the Truth from you away
may to false teachings
you opt not to obey.

May the Gospel Truth,
never depart from you
may you keep to the Way
you believe is true.

May no other gospel,
take you off course
may you always discern
from where the source.

May the Gospel truth,
keep you engaged . . .
may to those untrue
you not be enslaved!

~~~~~~~~

Galatians 2:4-5

And that because of false
brethren unawares brought in,
who came in privily to spy out
our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus, that they might
bring us into bondage:

To whom we gave place by
subjection, no, not for an hour;
that the truth of the gospel
might continue with you.

Abiding In These Last Times ~

Abiding in these last times,
takes walking in the Light
so to be able to see . . .
all the evil forces we fight.

For walking in the Light,
will keep us very aware
to the many trappings
satan has in his snare.

Abiding in the Truth,
takes remaining focused
being alert to doctrines
counterfeit and bogus.

For daily staying focused,
antichrists we’ll expose
and to their false gospel
we’ll be able to oppose.

Abiding in these last times,
takes the Light to find . . .
all the deceivers out to get
our hearts and minds!

~~~~~~~~

1 John 2:18-28

Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come, even now are there
many antichrists; whereby we
know that it is the last time.

Gospel Mutations ~

The Gospel of Christ,
has many mutations
preached by different
denominations.

The gospel of works,
it’s all about you . . .
not about what Jesus
was sent here to do.

The gospel of moralism,
is all about being good
but, it is just another
salvation falsehood.

The gospel of prosperity,
is about being made rich
not in the blood of Christ
but by some get rich pitch.

The gospel of self help,
again it’s back to you
not what Jesus . . .
came here to do!

~~~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 11:4

For if he that cometh preacheth
another Jesus, whom we have
not preached, or if ye receive
another spirit, which ye have
not received, or another gospel,
which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him.

Sticky Note to God ~11.08.19~

Problematic ~

Some like sheep,
follow whatever herd
no longer caring . . .
if the truth is blurred.

Making decisions,
not at all godly
not bothering to think
exactly how costly.

Some like sheep,
go whatever way
to altered gospels
they easily sway.

Wandering off,
the road that’s straight
forgetting just how
narrow is the gate.

All we like sheep,
have become erratic
tis why the church today . . .
is so problematic!

~~~~~~

Isaiah 53:6

All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own
way; and the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

Crowd Pleasers ~

Crowd pleasers,
filling up the pews
adapting God’s Word
with worldly views.

Changing the truth,
to delight men
not caring if God
they should offend.

Crowd pleasers,
seeking man’s approval
altering scriptures
seeing to their removal.

Seeking and wanting,
needing man’s favor
more than that of
their Lord and Savior.

Crowd pleasers,
filling up Sunday seats
and sadly God’s sheep . . .
are now being fleeced!

Deuteronomy 12:32

“What thing soever I command you,
observe to do it: thou shalt not
add thereto, nor diminish from it.”

1 Thessalonians 2:4

“But as we were allowed of God
to be put in trust with the gospel,
even so we speak; not as pleasing men,
but God, which trieth our hearts.”

Scripture Mutations ~

I hear about God’s love,
and tolerance
I hear about wealth
and being prosperous.

But, what I don’t hear,
theses days any more . . .
is the repentance of sin
lest it cause an uproar.

I hear about God’s love,
and stewardship
I hear about the greed
among the leadership.

But what I don’t hear,
is about sin’s liberation
for the Scriptures now have
too many mutations.

I hear all about God’s love,
but never about His wrath
for few preachers these days . . .
want to go down this path!

Matthew 15:9

“But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.”

K.I.S.S. ~

Keep It Simple Saints,
don’t get bogged down
in all the rhetoric
that keeps going around.

Keep It Simple Saints,
don’t listen to the heresy
just look into your Bible
and do what it has to say.

Keep It Simple Saints,
childlike faith is all you need
trust in your First Love
and let the Holy Spirit lead.

Keep It Simple Saints,
don’t get caught in the lies
discern for yourself the truth
and then only those apply.

Keep It Simple Saints,
some make salvation hard
and their misguided opinions
you will need to disregard.

Keep It Simple Saints,
it’s so easy to get tied down
by all the Scripture arguments
that for centuries . . .
have been going around!

2 Peter 2:1-2

“But there were false prophets
also among the people,
even as there shall be

who privily shall bring

even denying the Lord
that bought them,
and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.

And many shall follow
their pernicious ways;
  by reason of whom the
way of truth shall be
evil spoken of.”

Dancing With the Wolves ~

So many today,
dancing with the wolves
so many are following
their slippery hooves.

So many today,
are deceivingly mislead
so many aren’t being
the truth, anymore fed.

So many today,
are living in the darkness
so many aren’t looking
for Christ and His likeness.

So many today,
hearing errant teachings
so many don’t discern
the lies they’re preaching.

So many today,
with wolves are dancing
so many can’t spot . . .
danger at first glancing!

Sticky Note From God 04.19.16

Carried Away ~

To Your true Word Lord,
I will forever cleave
to the Life and Way
I will never leave.

To the false gospel,
I will not take heed
onto its heresies
my soul will not feed.

To Your ways Lord,
I’ll continue to obey
from the only true path
I’ll not be carried away.

To the false teachers,
I’ll refuse to listen
to their deceitfulness
I will not ever give in.

To Your true Word Lord,
I’ll not be tossed from
to the one they distort
I’ll remain forever numb!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 4:14

“That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie
in wait to deceive;”
